TOC for Dragon 403 & Dungeon 194

[Nemesis Destiny]

The TOC for both Dragon 403 and Dungeon 194 are up.

Dragon highlights include rules for 0-level characters, Artificers in the FR, and support for Starlocks.

Dungeon has, besides the usual setting fluff, an adventure for 0-level characters to accompany the rules in Dragon, another heroic adventure, a companion article for the Realms Artificer one, an article about a War College, and a "ready to print" Injury Deck.

Sounds like a decent month.

That's cool- the people who wanted 0 level rules finally get them.

I hope the injuries thing is good. I've been wanting to do something with the disease track, but haven't had the time.

I tried to throw together an injury deck of my own several months ago, but it was way too cumbersome, so I scrapped it in favour of giving my players each an "Enhanced Critical" encounter power card that they could play if they rolled or were the recipient of a crit.

The carrot to playing the card on yourself is that it gains you an Action Point (which are persistent but don't come back every extended rest in my game's houserules). It also lets the players control when something bad happens to them, which is fun.

Anyway, I hope this deck of injury cards works better than the one I came up with. I'd like to see it capture the essence of the old critical charts from 2e Combat & Tactics, but without the slowdown and headaches.

I'm also kind of keen on the 0th level thing.

Ugh... those 2e charts were too much chart for me.

I don´t see any injury cards...

but level 0 rules, best accompanied by level 0 monsters would be a great help. (The slider in the Monster generator just needs to be adjusted to be able to be set to 0)

They're in Dungeon.

How irritating. (as of 10:10AM EDT, 02 SEP) They haven't put up the links for Dungeon 194 yet so we cannot access the articles. And, yes, I double-checked it's not my error (I can access #193 for instance, I'm logged in, no script is not enabled for this site, etc.). These articles aren't even in the archive yet.

Stupid WoTC and its slavish affinity with the time/space railroad!

What? How indecent of them! How dare they tease me like that!
